Patient Application
6.2.3.1. Applying the Sensor
When selecting a sensor, consider the patient's finger / toe size and activity, adequacy of
perfusion, availability of sensor site and anticipated duration of monitoring. To apply the SpO
2
sensor follow these steps:
1. Select the proper sensor attachment accessory for the patient
2. Remove any nail polish from the application site
3. Attach the appropriate applicator to the sensor
4. Carefully apply the adhesive or grip sensor to the patient
5. Check that the two SpO
2
elements are directly opposite from each other and that no
external light is penetrating the site
6. Check perfusion index and make any necessary adjustments prior to starting a case
7. Route the cables in a straight line
8. Position the 3882 oPOD outside of the field of view (FOV), where possible.
